qs: I'm not sure. It's hard to predict how much he'd contribute with in pure numbers. He's on the rise as a winger though. You would expect him to score more next season than he did the last. Maybe the step up is too big for next season in a new league, but he'll make it the season after that instead if that's the case. It strikes me as a good investment either way.

Looking at Arsenal right now we have a lot of fairly reliable wide players, but only Chamberlain who regularly takes players on when he plays on the flank. I'd kill for someone who knows how to dribble out there.

Cuadrado looks like he is in control of hte ball and knows what he is going to do with it. Gervinho never looks in control of the ball, or himself. He has done well numbers wise with Roma, but has still missed some howlers and his technique is no where near cuadrado's level.

Gervinho have some stuffs in his game that is much better than Cuadrado, but yes Cuadrado is obviously a more effective player.

Klaus, Cuadrado played lots of RB in his entire career and even with his current club. He has since thrived in a more forward role but its easy to see him play Rb for Barca. He will fit into their system perfectly given that Alves plays the same way too

He was a mediocre rightback who blossomed as an attacking player this season. That's why people are interested in him now.

Joel?

Joel didn't play for us last season. I'm not familiar enough with him to predict what he'll look like over 30 league games, but I feel confident saying that he's not good enough to start.

Either one's fine. They both have attributes we need.

Gnarby?

No, but maybe Gnabry.

Also, Gervinho is dog poop and was from day one.

Nope I stand by Guhnarby

You turned into old man Pacifica already?!

Always was. Always was.

Still can't tell if you're on the wind-up about ol' melon head.

Something along the lines of him being a good dribbler.

Yep yep

He is

Did ya do the old mirror on the shoe trick last night?

You're pulling my leg...

Nah, Ricky taught me a new technique. It's called 'the curious hand'.

Haven't been reading much lately, and I'm not sure if he's really one of our serious options, but I must say what I have seen from this dude - I really, really liked. If at first there was some Gerv resemblance, this boy is beyond anything Gerv could dream about.

He wreaks havoc in seemingly every 1v1 situation. We won't sign him but what a player.

He's brilliant. Great dribbling skills and incredibly agile.
